Sharing Beyond Books #85 Comment Giveaway February 2, 2013

Hello, Welcome to SBB and Welcome to 2013!
Hi! I am so glad to be feeling better. I hope everyone is staying healthy!:-)Thank you to all who shared last week.

Well, five brave souls do have tattoos: Brooke has 7 and Jolene has 4, nrlymrtl and her man have ring tattoos (sweet), Tore has Pegasus on her back and Linda K has permanent eyebrows. Two others are interested in getting tattoos but the majority of us said "no."

Many of us do like book scavenger hunts particularly if they are smaller and not too difficult to find. We agree that time is an issue of concern. A couple of us do not enjoy them..

WEEK #85 Questions

Q1. Lissette asks: What's the craziest thing you have ever done just to get a book you really want??

A: It wasn't too crazy but in November 2008 I carried a picture of AJAX from Red Fire by Deirdre Knight around on our Spain Cruise. I took pictures to submit for a contest and won $25.00 GC and a copy of the book.

Q2. My Question this week: Do you like snow??

A: I do like snow - for short visits. I am glad I don't live where is snows though. And I wouldn't want my books to get in the snow. :-)

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! I STILL HAVE A GROUP OF QUESTIONS AVAILABLE BUT THEY ARE FROM ABOUT FOUR PEOPLE SO SOME OF YOU MAY WANT TO ADD A QUESTION OR TWO! We can always use fresh questions.

1. I honestly don't think I ever did anything crazy to get my hands on a certain book other than buy it. I don't even pre-order books, so ... apparently I am a very patient and/or lazy person! :-D

2. I do, but only over Christmas. And of course I never get what I want. It's either snowing in early December then it gets spring like around November, just to get awfully cold and snowy and icy in January. If I didn't know any better I'd say this is some sort of conspiracy.

1: What i did to get a book and that was crazy... i participated in a contest where the goal was to reach more than 5000 comments in less than 24h( each 5000 a new winner was added) so i nearly spend the day on it, loosing time because of teh capcha , my hand hurting and on teh day it was mostly 5 of us who did comment the most ( the comment could be repetitive and i admit after a few hour copy paste was my best friend) At the end i was really happy to ee that the 5 of us got a copy ^^ we had won it fater all

2) i like looking at the snow seeing everything white so the undisturbed snow whoah. but i live in a uite big city and thus teh snow doesn't stay long before becoming gray or black or worse so many walking on it transform the gently rassuring snow in hard ice couch... and since my ankle has been hurt i really hate those. We had some two week ago and i'm not arssured at all when i need to leave the house ( but seeing it on the roof, gardn etc it's so lovely)^^ a real dilemne in a sense

1. The only thing I can think of is leaving a big note on the refrigerator for my children to see my Christmas book wish list. Not so crazy & very effective.

2. Years ago when I lived in Sydney, we would go down for weekends to the snowfields. I tried skiing & decided it was NOT for me. I did like toboggans - on the baby slope. I even built a snowman once. I haven't seen snow for years now. No snow in QLD. I don't think I would like to live with snow.

1. I have never done anything crazy to get my hands on a book that I really wanted. I usually just go ahead and buy it.2. I love the snow. I moved from what was considered as the Snowbelt area to a warmer state and miss the snow very much. I have always loved to look at the snow and thought how peaceful it made everything.

I've never done anything crazy for a book. I once really wanted an out of print book from an author after reading one of hre other books (& loving it). I wrote to the author telling her how much I'd enjoyed the book (which was the truth of course) & how disappointed I was that her other book was out of print (no digital either). She sent me the book! I was quite speechless.

Living in a tropical country I've never experienced snow. It looks really pretty but I don't handle cold well at all. I think I'll have to do any liking of snow virtually =)
